Rolling into primetime like a Texas tumbleweed - on Wednesday, March 2nd - is SundanceTV's new six-episode series Hap and Leonard - based on the dime novel characters created by author Joe R. Lansdale. James Purefoy and Michael K. Willaims top-line this project as the two long-time/unlikely best friends who breezily bounce around from low-paying manual labor to high-paying score. Getting into trouble, here and there, with local crime schemes and money-grab plots. All the while, their loyalty to one another being the centerpiece of the story.
Purefoy (whose Texas accent isn't great but also isn't as bad as bad as the drawl he did for a few episodes on The Following) stars as Hap - a downtrodden ex-con with baggage in the form of devious ex-wife Trudy (Christina Hendricks). Williams' Leonard is a short-tempered, gay 'Nam vet who may or may not be attracted to, or in love with, Hap. Either way, it's teased a touch, but their friendship, which others have a hard time understanding (it's the 80s, in dirt rural Texas), reaches beyond anything easily explainable. And it's a fun pairing, having these two actors share the screen.
